I aim to provide a safe, non-judgmental space, empathetic/active listening as a compassionate presence and witness to see you, hear you, and meet you where you are in your human condition. My hope is to inspire your inner compassionate healer to go through your current circumstance and increase sense of peace, meaning and purpose. As an Asian American woman, I have a personal understanding of how to successfully navigate multicultural systems, especially those of Eastern/Western combined backgrounds. A rich full life experience as a classical musician/artist before mid-life, helps inform my service with added empathetic capacity

I have been in private practice for 35 years. I am dedicated to providing compassionate, skilled & enlightened psychotherapy tailored to your needs. I offer healing from trauma, depression & isolation while guiding the discovery of your innate strengths, healthy relationship & self-acceptance. Reaching out for help can feel scary & outside your comfort zone. You may long to feel balanced with a sense of self you can rely on in order to move past both self doubt & self criticism. I can offer you that healing for mind & spirit through deep attentive, empathic listening, insightful interpretation & skillful, sensitive guidance.

On your journey of self-improvement, I hope to provide you with a safe and empathetic space to be your most authentic self. Both past and present challenges can affect individuals in so many different and powerful ways. Through building a genuine and collaborative therapeutic relationship, I hope to help you explore your life experiences in an environment free from judgement or assumption. While therapy can be challenging, we will work together to unpack internalized burdens and emotions, leading to increased clarity and sense of purpose.

As a relational therapist, I work with couples, families, and individuals, exploring patterns in our relationships as well as our larger connection to community, culture and society. Together, we examine how these different parts of our system impact us and each other. I see therapy as a collaborative space where we can deepen our understanding of our experiences and move toward change and healing.

We all face challenges in life, but sometimes we get stuck, overwhelmed, or notice repeating patterns that negatively affect our relationships, work, and our overall health. I help women who feel isolated, worried, lonely, sad, not good enough, or confused about what to do next. My clients struggle with self-esteem, anxiety, hurtful relationships, family issues, difficult transitions, trauma and many other life challenges. Most women I see are looking to build confidence, become empowered to make changes, break unhealthy patterns and form healthier relationships. Counseling can be a great resource we can use to heal and grow.

My practice is rooted in the idea that symptoms such as anxiety, disruption, or discontent can guide us in life if we step beyond formulas and certainties, toward a more curious and imaginative mode of being. By artfully seeking to understand emotional suffering, and through deepening relational connection, we can arrive at relief and healing. Uncovering and accommodating what has been previously outside of awareness releases meaning and allows for greater freedom of thought, self-expression, and wholeness.

Counseling is a space where we get to focus on helping you move towards a life that is more fulfilling, meaningful, and connected. I work with people struggling with anxious thoughts, depression, or challenging relationships. Some are trying to navigate dating, intimacy, and partnership. Some have experienced spirit abuse or are coming out of religious systems that have left them confused and even traumatized. Some of the people I work with are unpacking their past and trying to be free of difficult patterns. Many people are just stuck and want some help figuring out why. Counseling helps you get unstuck.

Hello and welcome! As a mixed Asian and LGBTQIA2S+ affirming practitioner, my practice is rooted in principles of anti-oppression and collective liberation. My approach to therapy is collaborative and affirming of your strengths. We will work to honor who you are as a person and your preferences for engaging in healing work. My aim is for us to co-create an effective healing space for you, where you can explore, process and generate in an affirming and grounded manner.

I help individuals improve the quality of their lives and life experiences. My work for the past eight years has been focused on general practice with a specialty in addiction and co-dependency all within a relaxed and respectful environment. I work with individuals and couples to promote hope, health, and wellness by creating a safe space conducive to facilitating change, reflection, and interpersonal growth. My goal is that each person feels supported to become the best possible expression of themselves, in a responsive and non-judgmental environment.

Something happens...or someone says something...and before you know it you're reacting. And it's big. In the heat of the moment, you're sure you are right - and maybe you really are-but it pushes others away. They tell you things like "you're making a big deal out of nothing" or "just chill". And that just makes things worse. Later, when the moment has passed, you can have regrets...or even shame. And then the self-hatred sets in. You've got to change. You've probably done therapy before, and it just didn't help.

If you are looking to repair the past, establish healthy boundaries, communicate more effectively, or explore your blocks to intimacy, I would love to work with you. I believe that every person has the potential to live a fulfilling and meaningful life, and I am committed to helping my clients achieve that. I will help you access your inner strengths and intuition, develop self-compassion, and live more authentically to achieve your goals.

I help people who struggle with problems that they feel are impossible to change, understand, or even think about. I work well with individuals who are sensitive and creative, and need someone to help them understand the roots of what they struggle with, and how that impacts their life in the here-and-now. I don't work well with people who want to be "fixed" without coming to know themselves better in the process. In my experience, working to understand who you are offers the best hope for lasting change.
